(Hmm. That doesn't help much, does it?) I enjoy rewriting, once I've got a handle on what's necessary, and it's a good feeling to know that I'm improving the book. I think you'll feel the same way once the shock wears off. :-)Sandra Parshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403144248962124138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9722683.post-30314182728098558072011-02-02T13:55:31.228-05:002011-02-02T13:55:31.228-05:00If you can pick yourself up off the floor after se...If you can pick yourself up off the floor after seeing the marked up manuscript, you can make the changes.

When I got the critiques back, my first thought was to find a job making up advertising jingles. But--after really looking at the comments, some are very small, and the others will improve my ms. <br /><br />I've read many books published by small press lately and you should be glad they are taking the time with you. Just make sure that the edits have been made on the final version, such as remembering to delete the original word if a new one was suggested. Yes, I've seen incomprehensible sentences--here are two verbs, chose whichever you like best.E. B.
